Dangers Of Outdoor Fireplaces
The idea of having a fireplace in the backyard has become quite popular over the years. Like an indoor fireplace, it includes a chimney and is surrounded by brick or stones. Outdoor fireplaces are usually built into or against a wall, and though this is the most expensive method, the price will depend on your choice of design: a ready built unit or decide to have one custom built. No matter which way you choose, you can expect to pay anywhere between just a few thousand dollars to ten thousand dollars and up for an outdoor fireplace.
An element of danger exists with all types of fireplaces, but the potential danger is even greater with portable fire pits, possibly because they are not as permanent as an indoor fireplace. Because a fireplace exists within a structure, it must adhere to existing building codes, but a portable pits relies on the homeowner to make sure that it is used in the safest way possible. The importance of safety when using outdoor fireplaces can never be stressed too much as is apparent in an article that appeared online about a family who sustained $50-$60,000 in damages as the result of a fire pit that was being used on a wooden deck. The patio stones that had been placed underneath the fire pit were unable to prevent the transfer of heat to the deck boards, and the structure caught on fire.
In order to assure safe operation and reduce the dangers of outdoor fireplaces, it is recommended that they be kept away from anything that is combustible and not placed any closer than ten feet from the house or other combustibles. Additionally, before retiring for the night, the homeowners should ascertain that the fire is completely out.
An outdoor fireplace can be a nice addition to your home, but you have to be willing to take the extra precautions that are necessary. Unlike a barbeque grill, gas or charcoal, that sets several feet from the ground, an outdoor fireplace is low to the ground. As such, it cannot be used near the house or on any kind of combustible surface. As long as youre willing to take the extra precautions, its something you can certainly enjoy with a great deal of pleasure.

The bench is very nice looking, sturdy and the table in the middle is an awesome feature. The 3 stars rating is due to the fact that putting the bench together was terrible. I ordered this bench due to the reviews that said putting it together was easy, but the directions were not helpful and most of the slots did not match up. It was a nightmare!

The look is great. The quality of the rattan is not that great (not strong) and the cushions are soaked in fire-retardant which is really not eco-friendly nor good for the body. It started dripping off when the rain hit the cushions.

Nice bench , but the one I wanted was the wrong color. The one I wanted was out of stock after I ordered. They should have asked if I wanted another color and if not refunded my money. Not just sent me one that they wanted to get rid of

We put a large insulated container inside, fill it with ice and cold drinks. VERY handy when it's hot outside. This matches our other outdoor furniture. It looks nice and is a large seating surface-or side table.

We're happy with this item, bought the unfinished one and hubby spray painted it with red barn color. We placed it near our gazebo for an added attraction.

The instructions were fine and it went together well, i have put wood on the shelves for a bit of stability and weighed it down with bags of compost. Its been perfect to start off my herbs and veggies and some flowers but i do worry that if we have any gale force winds it may take off! I haven’t given 5 stars because it is a bit flimsy but you get what you pay for....

Love these chairs. The armless chairs sell out very quickly so decided to get the ones with arms and they go perfect with the other chairs. Very sturdy and comfortable. Love the color of the black and white. They fit perfectly around my table and they stack when you want to store them.

I received 4 of these darling Bistro Chairs on Tuesday and when I saw them I ran right upstairs and ordered 2 more chairs. They arrive today. Wow in only 2 days and free shipping on top of that. These chairs are perfect for the dining room of our beach house. When I first ordered the chairs a few weeks ago I wanted blue but after searching the entire web there were no blue ones available so I went with the red and I am so happy I did, fun color makes for a fun look. Pros: Fun, light weight, nice size for a small area, comfortable and very french looking.

This storage box is absolutely ideal for storing cushions and other garden accoutrements. It arrived early (!) and came flat packed but was extremely easy to put together in about half an hour. The colour is great, blending into the background of the garden.

Looking for something to store bird feeders on my back deck and also be extra seating. This worked perfectly. Had a friend assemble - took about 10 minutes.

Still putting this piece together, but just from the assembly I can tell it will be sturdy. The wood color is beautiful and just as pictured. My 10 year old daughter helped me assemble the frame - the instructions are very easy to follow... we should have the bench assembled tomorrow and be swinging away in no time. Really looking forward to my new porch swing.

I think the description should make it clear of the stone content. It looks like a stone pot from the outside,but definitely not on the inside. It seems like the small amount of stone is in the paint on the outside only. So doesn't feel vakue for money when you handle them. Also it says can be usef inside or outside, but is imprinted on the Base as part of the mould that you have to drill through the Base if using outside. I have since been told this revokes the warranty. Can this be right?????
